HOW TO DE-CLUTTER YOUR MIND AND UNLOCK THE KEYS TO MANIFESTING YOUR HEART’S GREATEST DESIRES @ Midwest Conference Center
Mar 4 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Saturday, March 4th. Time: 6-7. Free Lecture. Do you ever find yourself angry about the anger you feel and just won't let go of, or frustrated with your incessant feelings of frustration? Do you get impatient with your impatience because you're not perfect at being imperfect? We often find ourselves twisted in a world of emotional and spiritual dichotomies – created by our minds. In fact, many of us see our mind as the enemy, and the greatest obstacle to our spiritual liberation. No so. In this illuminating program, Theresa Puskar sheds light on many of these dichotomies. Location: Body Mind Spirit Expo: Midwest Conference Center, 401 W Lake St, Northlake, IL.

The Path of Hope: Integral Ecology for Home and Hemisphere
Feb 13 @ 7:00 pm

Dr. Michael J. Schuck, Professor, Department of Theology, Loyola University Chicago
Dr. Nancy C. Tuchman, Director, Institute of Environmental Sustainability, Loyola University Chicago

Time:7–9 p.m.

The Path of Hope: Integral Ecology for Home and Hemisphere | Luecht Conference Center In partnership with the Care of Creation team from Resurrection Catholic Church.

Effective, long-lasting action for Earth health will depend on a critical mass of human beings experiencing
a conversion of inner spirit and an alignment of a personal life meaning with our planet. Scientific clarity, ethical guidance, spiritual engagement, and direct action—these are the four connected steps we need to take in order to heal the Earth, both locally and globally. Each step, says Pope Francis in Laudato Sí, invites

“a conversation that includes everyone.” So, let’s join the conversation!

Renaissance Art and Vegetables
Feb 27 @ 12:00 pm

Dr. James Nienhuis, University of Wisconsin–Madison (MCC Alumus)

Time: Noon  B166–67

We can often trace the evolution of many of our grain crops, because the seeds are dry and can be preserved
in archeological sites. Not so with fruits and vegetables. These foods have a very high moisture content and are perishable, so we don’t have an archeological record, but we do have art. During the Renaissance, there was a trend towards Natura Morta, or still life paintings, and those paintings from the 15th and 16th century give us record of what many European vegetables looked like 500+ years ago. And some of them look pretty weird! So next time you go to the Art Institute in Chicago, don’t look for the Rembrandts, look for the vegetables.

Women Farming Cooperatives in Central America
Feb 27 @ 6:00 pm

Women Farming Cooperatives in Central America | Luecht Conference Center

Time: 6–8 p.m.

On a project funded by USAID through the University of California–Davis, Nienhuis’ lab worked as the lead institution in a truly international project to promote sustainable vegetable production in rural areas of Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras and Costa Rica. Tomato and pepper production can be among the most profitable sources of income and food security for many single mothers and women’s cooperatives in rural areas of tropical Central America. This presentation will share the science and stories behind this international research project that impacted many both in central America and sustainable farming here in the US.
